Over the years, I have held various positions, starting as a Service Technician for eight years, then transitioning to the Termite division as an Inspector for two years. Afterward, I served as a Service Supervisor for three years. In 2001, I was promoted to Service Operations Manager.

In July 2002, I passed my Board exam and became a Board-Certified Entomologist. As the Technical Director for Toro Pest Management, I am responsible for creating our company’s training manuals, service treatment protocols, and selecting the best available green products.
